Adsf A asked:


I am considering finance, but all i have done in school is do problems. A lot of it is very difficult. Do finance majors use everything they learned in their jobs? What exactly do they do? How would a finance degree help me after law school?

Christine asked:


I took a career interest test and I was a 100 percent match for finance/accounting and criminal justice. All other careers were 75% or less. This seems to be right for me. Now my question is which careers in these fields would be a great choice, as far as pay, job demand, and schooling? I am 28 years old and have 2 children if this helps and i am enrolled in a community college. Thank you for your help.

shootthemessenger asked:


Hi, i plan to study Bachelor of Finance at Australian National University, however i have to choose to major in either of corporate finance and investment management or quantitative finance. From what i udnerstand, corporate finance is more theoritical and has to do with business financing while quantitative finance has to do with math. could someone tell me more about both subjects? what kind of job can you get after studying each of these?

If you’ve earned [...]]]> debt

Cynthia C asked:


I’m working toward a PhD in Political Science. My concentration is International Relations, and I’d prefer to teach at a large research university. I know about how much faculty members in my field earn, but, frankly…I’m a little worried about being able to pay off my student loans.

If you’ve earned your PhD, or if you have information about this topic, what do you think is a reasonable amount of debt to have after you get your PhD? Can you reasonably pay it off on a professor’s salary?

I know that it would depend on the amount of debt and how much the position pays, but if you can share your experiences, I’d be appreciative. Thanks.
I’m funded, by the way, but the stipend at my tiny public school is ridiculous. Because I’m funded, I’m full-time and will get out in 5 years (well, 4 years left), and I can’t work outside the department for more than 10 hours a week (it’s an unofficial rule, but they do frown upon it). I worked full-time as an undergrad, but I’m really not sure I could handle working at all outside of my classes and TA/GA responsibilities.
